ford has a good idea for the first time since they introduced the mustang 50-summin years ago

Build them and while you are at it, put clean diesels in them and oh yea, do something about the Ranger. The ranger needs a total makeover and a nice clean V6 turbo diesel with 170-200 horsepower.

5 years? its not like this is the first time in history for a rear wheel drive…. COME ON!!!!

Bull**** Bob is just doing what he does best namely bull****ting. My god if Ford and Hyundai can do it.

No. No. Keep the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis RWD platform going for another 10 or 20 years. (j/k)
All right, this could be good, and if they could share this new platform with Jaguar RWDs, this could be even better.

Here is the perfect opportunity for FoMoCo to actually take the LEAD in something becides full size pickups and pony cars. There have been far too many product plans for all the brands, especially LINCOLN, that were scrapped. Lincoln had a product plan exactly the same as the recent Caddy turnaround that would have trumped Cadillac by at least 2 years starting with the LS for the 00 model year. Please Ford, Please stick with this and beat GM to the punch!!!

Ford late to the party as usual. Better late than never I guess. If they’re still in business by then.

I expect Ford to be unable to deliver on that promise…due mainly to bankruptcy.

CAFE standards be damned.. might as well build us the RWD cars we demand now, since without them Ford will probably be dead by 2012.

Would any of you know how to run a massive auto company??
Why do any of you even bother to post! Just constant negative comments…like a bunch of children….
Winge, winge, winge…
So, just for a change can anyone of you post
something constructive!?
If your not an auto fan, simply just troll somewhere else, please?

5 years!? oh well at least theyre actually ‘thinking’. i just hope it looks EXACTLY like the interceptor concept. thats one ford i’d buy in a heart beat.

Let me ask you logical people one simple question…

Where is Toyotas affordable RWD, 6cyl, V8 entrey??
The worlds richest car company does NOT have a RWD platform at an affordable level…my god…
But GM and Ford already do…
Wake up!

If they build the Interceptor, the sales will follow quickly, but they need to do it *now*. Ford probably won’t be around in another 5 years…

@ autolover: toyota already had a rwd i6 car, the is300, rebadged as the altezza in japan. its not like they cant do it.
besides they are too busy counting the millions they are making to be worried about some american company (thats losing BILLIONS every year) and their “future” plans…

1c3dog…

Are are serious? or you just like the drama…
As i just asked where is Toyota RWD entry???

Frolan,

Where is toyota RWD entry?? The CV, 300 competitor??
RWD V8? oh japan only?? what about in the US and the rest of the world, no we get FWD bland mobiles like the camry…

Your last comment…is just plain stupid…and your an auto enthusiast!?

Toyota seems to be doing just fine with their economical FWD mass market cars. Why do you think that is? Could it be that a large majority of the motoring public couldn’t care less about large displacement RWD vehicles?

The high displacement RWD crowd despises Toyota for ignoring them. If Toyota finally built them a vehicle do you think they would buy it?

It’s glaringly obvious that Toyota doesn’t need to apeal to to these lower volume dying segments to make their coin.

Random, I don’t disagree with u totally, but wake up!
The people posting in here wouldn’t 2 brain cells to rub together…
This thread is about Ford producing affordable RWD vehicles…the people posting on here are saying Ford will be ‘dead’ Ford should be doing RWD now…as i have asked a million times…where is Toyotas, the richest car company in the world, affordable RWD platform?????
Why the heck should Ford be releasing RWD vehicles right now? when obvioulsy FWD vehicles are more important?
So stop the crap! Ford announced RWD platform plans and you lot winge! shut up!
The simple fact is, it takes years to move mountains in the car game…but why should i expect any of you to think beyound your computer screen…

Besides, toyota maybe cash rich and sales are growing, but their vehicle range is not class leading, they are not style leaders, they sell more on reputation than anything else these days…
People buy toyotas for peace of mind, not driving enjoyement, maybe you guys drive toyotas?
The truth is the general buying public are not auto savvy…like many on here is appears.
When some of you work out how auto companies work, then you might have something to post thats worth reading..

Random Jerk.. Lexus is nearly all high powered RWD vehicles. The Toyota Camry and Avalon can both blow their front tires off of their rims with their large V6s. And Toyota lost all green credit when they came out with the 6000lbs 5.7l Tundra. Toyota is out to make money. At the moment they are better at it than everybody else. Toyota follows supply and demand. Americans demand large car like the Avalon Tundra and Lexis and Toyota delivers. Oh and BTW the Mustang is one of the best selling cars in America and The 300c and Charger are the only products keeping non truck traffic in Chrysler showrooms 4 years after their intro. People like RWD cars with an OPTIONIAL V8. Remove your head from your ass.

Bravo!!
Nobody has answered my question…Where is Toyota entry level RWD 6 and 8cyl competitor??
hmmm maybe becasue they don’t have one…

Quick Toyota should make one now, today! just like GM and Ford should!!
At least the lack of common auto knowledge (or common sense) can be entertaining!

lol, Smart response…how long did it take for you to think of that one?
Why does an manufacturer need an entry level RWD platform?
Its amazing how quiet it is now when you actually confront people with thoughtless and silly comments…

Hey AutoLover – here’s your damn “entry level” 6 cyl rear drive Toyota. Christ. Now quit postin’ every 15 min, it’s a forum, not a chat room.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1981-BLACK-GRAY-TOYOTA-CELICA-SUPRA_W0QQitemZ190100231156QQihZ009QQcategoryZ6447QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

18 months from now, Ford can announce they are “pausing” there RWD platform development because of CAFE issues.

I bet GM is “pausing” because they don’t have enough capacity in Australia and they are not willing to retool plants in the USA to build these cars. Ford probably can’t do anything because thay have no leadership.

y r u talking about freakin toyotas? just cuz they’re making money that has nothing to do with the domestic manufacturers. u wanna know y they’re making rwd cars? cuz thats what real americans like, we built our industry on high displacement rwd cars, y should they try to change their identity to compete, if it couldnt work then they wouldnt still be around. u want a fwd toyota, then go buy one and put more americans out of a job, or better yet, move to japan, quit complaining about american automakers doing what they made their company of, if u dont like it, deal with it, ur little complaints arent doing anything but annoying actual fans of the automobile industry

Hey ironpony42…do yourself a favour and READ! where is Toyotas RWD entry NOW,TODAY, something the size of a falcon or commodore??
I’ll post as quick as i want, yes its a forum, hence why i’m commenting on the bull**** posted on here by people who have no clue how the auto industry works, obviously you don’t either.
Yes just sit back, winge and complain once more…become an auto CEO and put your money where your mouth is.

jbird97…finally someone who talks some sense…

Swamprat, Can you provide any sort of reference to your ‘idea’ on why GM is pausing its RWD plans?
Why do you people even bother posting, grab a cup of tea, a biscuit and have a little gossit with your girly counterparts on why the Auto industry needs help…:)

How many of you are American? could explain a few things…

I think all of the major car companies other than Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Subaru (since they’re already covered with RWD, AWD) could use an affordable (read: starts at $18,000) rear wheel drive economy car platform with engines as small as a 2.0L 4-cylinder through a turbocharged 4-cylinder on up through V-6’s and V-8’s and various hybrids and electrics.

People buy what’s available because they need transportation and they cannot build cars themselves. Occasionally there is the rare car buyer who knows the differences between different drive setups and looks long and hard for something much more satisfying than a Toyota Camry.

People may want a certain product that isn’t offered but they still need a reliable car. Right now, RWD is a premium offering. If it were an affordable offering in a family car package I bet more people would buy them. No one really likes minivans, for instance. They still buy them because station wagons aren’t offered very often.

I tend to agree…we have cheap RWD vehciles available, cheaper than FWD actually.
Here RWD is not classed as premium at all…
And they are offered by GM and Ford ONLY, not the japenese, asian, american or european manufacturers.

Wow.. 14 out of the 35 comments by autolover. Got a life much? Toyota doesnt need/want to make an entry RWD V6/V8. If they wanted to they would have allready done that. The make affordable, reliable, good mpg vehicles, and if they did what u want them to it wouldnt be a toyota, but a lexus.

If some of you actually read the post i wouldn’t need to keep posting…by the way im at work and can post through the day…WOW AMAZING HEY, i just got sick and tired of reading this site and the crap you people post!
So i thought its about time i see if you people actually have a clue…
you don’t, you live in a bubble.

So do you think we could get back on topic?

Ford is making a NEW global RWD platform, not too late, as they already have RWD platforms available.
This platform will be like GMs zeta, flexible and used around the world, Ford is basically cleaning up its operations…exactly what the CEO Alan Mulally is pushing for and what the last few CEO, failed to do.
Remember Ford was cash rich thoroughout the 90s…no reason why it can’t do it again, as history has proven.
remember Ford in 103 years old.

come on gm

Toyota does not have much of anything on an affordable level lately. It keeps jacking up prices and people buy more and more, so no point stopping. Most affordable RWD for Toyota: Lexus IS. At it’s price, the Lexus IS (the non-AWD) will be as affordable as RWD gets for Toyota-ever.

In the ice and snow, RWD sucks. Up here in Canada, it’s icy and snowy 50% of the time…don’t think too many will be lining up to buy any RWD platform from Ford or anyone else soon.

But Ford did the wrong thing waiting so long to develop RWD! I think Ford is focusing on what it should, getting healthy again.
Plenty of time for RWD cars in the future.
If you look at it, Ford has actively persued AWD, many others makers haven’t and i find AWD to be a worthwhile option to have.

Ice and snow? Dont worry, Al Gore is warming things up. Canada will be just like Florida in less than a year except for the hurricanes (storm not team).

Doctor: If you don’t change immediately, you will be dead in two years.
Ford: Don’t worry Doc, I got a five year plan.

jbird97, your comment “u want a fwd toyota, then go buy one and put more americans out of a job” is so ridiculous. How does buying a toyota (made in America by the way, by American workers, except for the Lexus LS) put Americans out of a job. If the American car companies want to compete, they have to start paying the modest payrates that UAW workers deserve, and stop building crap. I have a 2006 G6, only because GM sent me $3000 to put down on it. I used to work for one of the GM subsidiaries and know what kind of mentality that the UAW workers have. It is well known in their circles that if you find a defect with a car on the production line, you let it pass, and let the dealership worry about it. The Honda plant (also in America by the way) down the road. tells their workers that if they find a defect, that they should stop the line and get it fixed before it gets any farther. Does it really matter if the profit on the car go to some big fat cat in Detroit or some other fat cat sitting in Tokyo. Think about it. I’m on my last American auto company car, unless the big 3 get their act together….

More RWD? Sounds good, let’s hope they stick to that plan.

The problem with Ford is that its product line has been Schizophrenic at the very best. Take a look at the Ford Taurus not developed within the last ten years. Then Ford plays retarded and says oh **** we got get rid of it. Its not selling. Duh! Now mind you the Taurus’s only major contenders have been the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord alike and both are regularly redeveloped every 2 to 3 years with the latest technology (The Midcar segment the Ford Taurus OWNED for years)

However Ford never took that threat seriously.

Now GM and Chevy garbage in contrast to that can in no way manner shape or form be mentioned in the same sentence with those automotive icons and or the midsized car market. Unless you use the word **** along with Chevrolet the two have become synonomous together!

But this is what happened at Ford Motor Company the idiot “Ford Family” fires the guy most responsible for bringing the Taurus to the American market. Which was Donald Peterseon. The Ford Taurus was the car that not only stymied and beat the **** out of Chevrolet and GM combined for the next two decades, But it can also be credited toward putting Oldsmobile out of business!

And by the way the CEO release by the nefarious Ford Family would not be the first time its been done.

The credit of the Taurus should been given squarely to Ford CEO Donald Peterson and Jack Telnack that brought the Taurus to market.

But now currently the Taurus which was cancel has been brought back to life under the guise of the slow selling Ford Five Hundred. The problem therein lies is that Ford is too slow and has decided on an old selling approach that does not work!

This upcoming Interceptor is not what Ford needs its a low volume police car at the very most. A guy earlier in the post was quite accurate most people want at least a front wheel drive car for better traction like the Taurus.

Only problem with the recently revived 2008 Taurus is that its a BIG FAT BLOB.

And the other problem is that Ford is coming out with vehicle that do not take us to new boundaries rather they revisit the past like the upcoming 2009 Ford Flex will not sell well with the Great Forward thinking designs that are coming out of even Hyundai and Kia

And besides much like GM ..Ford’s management has really screwed things up. I have enjoyed my Taurus quite a bit over the years as I have even kicked the crap out of brand new Camaros and other GM crap who thought they were going to show me a thing or two on the road way and got the ass handed to them instead!

But I don’t think I will go back to Ford because their Hell bent on “NOT” coming out with the very “BEST IN CLASS” vehicle and instead they have opted for cheaper wanna be, low volume vehicles that do not appeal vast majority of people who want to get the most and pay the least. Instead the company wastes money on low volume projects that does little for revenue. Some classic examples of poor ideas FOMOCO has pursued or pursuing Ford Thunderbird (its a glorified Go-Kart nothing more- and you don’t see them on the road anymore, FORD GT, upcoming GT 500 KR..these are all examples of how Ford has wasted opportunities to keep their Heavy Hitters moving forward.
And to that end Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, and Kia will all Rock on!

And Piss on Chevy.

The only Ford vehicle today that has a little bit going for it is the Fusion.

Edit: scrap the “not planning on building RWD sedans”, damn stories are all similar here. That was aimed at GM.

Ummm I brought Toyota up because people on hear do nothing but winge about Ford taking up to 5 years to bring a NEW range of RWD vehicles to the US market.
Ford AUS has a thoroughly modern RWD platform already, has done for the past 30 years!
I commented on the fact that the richest car maker on the planet at the moment is Toyota, yet no-one bashes then for not having an entry level RWD platform with V6 and V8 powrtrain options…
Ford will be around in 5 years and they will be profitable by 2009, i’ll bet money on it.

autolover, you should have figured out by now there are certain people on here that have nothing intelligent to add to a conversation. Personally I think if you have something positive to say about certain cars, trucks, suvs, etc, you will be bombarded with idiotic comments from 13 year olds. (AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE BECAUSE I DO! Say your peace and ignore those that are trolling.

Oh and javaeboy, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan will never be an American company. They have plants here in the US but that’s about it and they take their profits back to Japan. Trust me these companies don’t want to be called American. If you haven’t noticed it’s cool to hate the US these days.

True, agreed and i will in future ignore the children…:)

WHY should Toyota make a RWD car when it is so easily murdering Ford, Chrysler and GM with FWD.

PS – I hate FWD

ClubF150, I did not say that Toyota, Honda or Nissan were “American” companies. What I said, is that the so-called Japanese companies are employing American workers. Who really cares where the profits go. Do you worry about that when you are out buying your flatscreen TV, or DVD player? If you really want to buy American, buy “everything” American. We just need to fire all the UAW workers and replace them with people who care more about their product, then their paychecks.

Bolex you can at least see Ford’s problems as most Ford consumers do, but they should not be felt sorry for like Mr. F150 might be suggesting. Nobody (No American) should have to tolerate second rate product.

And don’t get me wrong ClubF150 I like Ford just as much as the next guy who is true blue Ford that is all American. However, I would not allow my patriotism to get in the way of my purchasing decisions when said company is doing nothing for me in several different ways.

So you may tell us that you would not buy a car by Nissan, Toyota, or Honda. Ok yes they pocket the money and take it back to Japan. Ok but any company would take
their profits as could be expected. And before you get off telling me your money is supporting Americans? in an American company at Ford? Do you know who it is your supporting at Ford? and are they really working hard for you? And what kinds of Americans am I supporting when I or you hand your money over to Ford when we purchase a new vehicle?

These are some of the elemental questions you really need to ask yourself in order to have some self respect for your decisions you make in life.

You know they tell you in public its not right to discriminate but what do alot of the larger institutions do behind close doors with respect to you or I? Discriminate? Exactly.

But before we go further down that path lets talk about Ford product its mediocre at the very best.

However the F-150 is a Great Pickup Truck, but so is the New Toyota Tundra with more capability than an F-150
, the Dodge Ram Pick, Nissan Titan, Mitsubishi, and hey even the Chinese have displayed a couple of New Pup truck models.
but the bottom line is who is truely giving you or I the most?!

Fusion is about the only glowing light at Ford right now outside the ok and meandering sales of the Mustang.

Ford 500 Garbage- Too Big, Ugly, Eats Gas
Ford Freestyle Garbage
Ford Freestar/Montrey Garbage
Ford Fusion Weak redesign following soon by another make shift redesign does’nt look too impressive-This is a major Area Ford has ignored- where is their a Hybrid version of this car?
Honda Civic has taken this segment to a new level
Ford Crown Vic Old
Mustang nice but its a summer car- rear wheel drive and its not a major segment leader- too much concentration.
And many of the Trucks and SUVs are just refreshenings that are not an improvement over last years models?
So excuse me? Whose giving you more?

So First they are coming out with second rate product and have been for some time. And if buying **** is your cup of tea just because its american then your an idiot.

Secondly, What groups has FOMOCO been supporting or giving contributions (political or otherwise) to in say the last 5 years? Do you read the news? I do. Who are they hiring and why? If you really kept abreast of those developments you might become more than a little IRATE at what Ford as a company has been involved in.
They have done some good things but take a look at the total package of what they not only offer you in Product. Are they supporting you or robbing you blind.

And all things being equal where do you draw the line sir. And before you judge me Mr. Club150 then perhaps you need to do some reading.

Then if you did then perhaps you would reconsider who’s car or truck you bought?

And at this point I do not feel sorry for Ford just for the folks that truely work hard underneath the retarded management they have had. If Allan Mulally can get it turned around at Ford Motor then great; then they still have a long way to go and not much time to do it in!
I was and still considering Boycotting Ford for alot of their nefarious groups it has been supporting. If you do any reading you know what I am talking about.
And like Bolex suggested they come to work at Ford to sit around until 5 O’clock and collect a paycheck for doing nothing!? You want to pay for nothing and no improvement? And supporting groups that are probably groups you would otherwise not support.
So I’m NOT impress with NO WORK. And I am not so sure Ford will be so popular in 5 years or even around if they continue mediocre upcoming designs like the Flex and Interceptor.

I do have this to add as one positive note to Ford ok will all of my negativity. If they can get those problems fixed. Second they reclaim the sales crown in the mid size and small car markets as they did with the Taurus and Fusion now several years back by truely futuristic , purposeful designs, and at the best cost advantage over its competitors then it shows the company has some pride. If not then they are content to being slackers until they go bankrupt!
But they need a visionary that takes transportation to a new level!
One last note, the one teansy bit of light showing for Ford was consumer reports giving the Fusion was “Expected” above Average reliability in every category much like a Honda or a Toyota is consistently year in and year out. Can Ford do that? will see?

My thing is if Ford can say we are going to be the Sales Leader in the Mid-sized car segment and we will faithfully redesign the class leading car to do it.

That is the problem is the Ford family does not put that as a priority. They are not professionally managed at the Top. If Allan Mulally can change that it will be seen.

“Ford Crown Vic Old”

Yeah, well I own one of these big RWD cars.

I can crash into any UNIBODY car out there, BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc. and let my steel frame crush into your soft sheetmetal spotwelded panels.

Stupid Ford for letting the Vic get old, and the Taurus, and the Focus, and the Escape….

Is there a pattern here at FoMoCo ?

FordTaurusForever, Sorry but I am reminded of patriotism everyday I go to work 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the last 13 years. My patriotism, and the patriotism of those that have sacrificed their lives for the freedom of this country will not let me forget that so please don’t talk to me about patriotism. As far as sub-par products you are absolutely correct. As far as caring about where profits go “HELL YEAH I CARE” that money is being used to better their economy. America is being turned into a cancer with all the ungrateful people that don’t seem to care about our history so forget about the future. You have people on here wishing and hoping for the demise of an American Company. Yes I do take it personal, I have said it before and I’ll continue to say it. Ford and GM both has fed many of my family members for years so I will continue to be loyal even when I’m driving my BMW. Now as far as products, I question those that won’t even look at an American car. I live in an area that has high levels of first and second generation of immgrants in SoCal. I’ve talked to some of my neighbors and they are perfectly happy spending their money on Honda, Acura, Toyota, and Lexus and that is their choice, but when you suggest say GM, Ford, or any American Car Company they say the wouldn’t even take the time to look at it because all of them are worthless.

Oh, and Mr FordTaurus guy, I have NEVER directed any comments towards you or judged you until the post above. If you felt my comments were directed towards you then you have to take that up with yourself and whatever you have posted. You have your beliefs and I have mine. And I don’t think the Tundra is a far superior truck, I think it’s a good competitior or superior to a base model Chevy, Ford, or Dodge. It all depends on what you are using it for and why you purchased it. I think it’s a great truck but it doesn’t fit my lifestyle. I leave those trucks for my neighbors, well come to think of it they all drive SUV’s and Minivans. Oh and one of those “retarded groups” that Ford supports, another one of my peers in my unit seems to think Ford is Satan’s spawn for being “gay friendly” and thinks Ford is giving money to gay people for the recruitment of other gays and to make other children gay in school. I KID YOU NOT!!! He said he will never buy a Ford product. Now that is what politics and religion will do to you.

Oh Yeah Mullally nice try to keep the Taurus name but do yourself a huge favor if you keep the Taurus after the 2008 redition then redo it shortly thereafter and have a real Taurus show stopper by 2010 a sleek car that’s what a Taurus deserves to be. The direction Honda is going with the FCX is a good indication of where you should be thinking. You can be radical but gorgeous at the same time. Just ask yourself everytime a designer comes to you with a new design and ask yourself what Jack Telnack said. Would you want that parked in your drive way? And if you don’t come back with a Hell yeah in your mind resoundingly; then don’t build it ..its that simple!

Ford makes some pretty decent models in Europe, but North America always seems to get the crappy end of the stick when it comes to fun to drive and exciting cars. One example: the Focus. The latest Mustang was a step in the right direction, but in my opinion, the U.S. model lineup leaves a hell of a lot to be desired.

ClubF150 Bang your head your head into a wall why don’t you. Cry baby ~

And a test of the Best Pickup comes down to Raw horsepower The Ford F-150 only has 300 HP which is good that is until you stick up against the New Toyota Tundra at almost a 100 HORSEPOWER more. 381 HP to be exact! So stick that one in your straw hat and smoke it. Oh but I do know you!. Oh I never forget a face Mister F150!

Jamaican Dude Exactly Ford’s NA line up was drawn up by some kid smoking some strange crap. I’m mean take a look at the Cross trainer which is somewhere inbetween a station wagon and a SUV. I mean who wants something so horrible looking. It looks as almost as Gaudy as some of these ugly gymn shoes kids are wearing nowadays. Totally pointless. And now much like the Ford 500 which no body loves-kind of like Toyota Poking fun at the sorry GM pieces of crap. I’ll never forget this one when I was selling Toyota’s. Hey now is Aztec time!
Another 100th mistake and misfire by GM in a long succession. hahahaha Ford has decided to slap the Taurus logo on the Crosstrainer making it Taurus X hoping the name will help them off load or unload their pieces of crap before going the way of the Dodo.
Sorry Ford it won’t work. They might rob some old woman coming into the showroom looking to buy a Taurus, but the Ford 500 being redubbed a Taurus. Is NO Taurus.
Its a Piece of crap. Ford just get rid of it! And do the Taurus name justice if you keep the name in circulation.

As far as bring over the Mondeo which looks nice, but by the time Ford taking the car to market the market will have shifted past “the Europena Mondeo” and we will be looking at even better futuristic models from Korean and Japanese in terms of not only style but true functionality and reliability.

I think they should concentrate on small cars with Gas prices expected to rise easily over $4 dollars a gallon this summer. This is a continuing trend that is not going away. I wonder when Ford will wake up to that fact and get on the fast track to more efficient Hybrid and Alternatively power vehicles.

I grew up around fast Fords… mainly European models. Capris, Cortinas, Escorts and Sierra Cosworths were really poular in JA when I was a kid. My dad actually had a Lotus Cortina and a ‘73 Capri RS3100. But my all time favorite car back then was my uncle’s ‘67 Shelby GT350. All original and still parked in his garage to this day, even though he passed away 11 years ago. Ford NA hasn’t really made anything as exciting as the cars from that era in a while. Relatively cheap, fun to drive cars is what they need to get people interested in the brand again. Sure, the Mustang has always been popular, and decently quick, but the only other performance oriented rear driver recently has been the Lightning… and that’s a truck.

FordFreakTar… whatever… If I had as much time as you to spend on this site I’d probably would have responded in a timely manner, but unlike you, I have a life. Go back to beating off to your 89 Taurus with three hubcaps. Maybe when you grow up Mommy and Daddy will let you drive it. Or maybe they are still upset because you should have been a blowjob.

Hey Country Hick Boy ClubF150 I have more Smarts in my little pinky than you do in that entire Lonesome head of yours. You know that Zit that sits between your shoulders. Somebody needs to Pop it!

Jamaican Dude your right about the excitement part. Ford has created too many “wanna be” cars instead of “The” cars to have.

I really think as much as I am opposed to Ford coming out with Niche vehicles, because Main stream vehicles is where Ford will win…like Redoing the Focus above and beyond the segment leader “Honda Civic” which to most people is a cool little car inside and out.
Is where the money is to be made. If Ford builds something first Ask the vast majority as they did the Taurus when it came out what they think first before building it. And then consistently keep the cars name and reputation at the top of the food chain. Ford then did nothing for years and put the Taurus in Garbage can? Why? Now their rummaging through the garbage for the name and slapping it on a Boat of a car or Blimp in the Ford 500. What Ford needs to do is kill that design and redo it with the latest technology, the latest modern power train (being ecologically friendly of course, quality made, and at a price the consumer is willing to buy. Is it mission impossible no, but it should be not only the end goal but a way of developing means of better transportation at Ford Motor.
I liken the Ford Taurus as a constant winner- like Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ner’s always finding the endzone. The Taurus found the endzone every year for over two decades. And now Ford is doing like Joe Montana throwing the Football to William Perry the Refrigerator expecting to make a touchdown. It does’nt happen! Duh Stop playing stupid Ford and get your head out of your ass. I mean how Dumb can you (Ford) be!?

I would say this about Niche vehicle’s if Ford does one do one and only one that brings customers attention at a somewhat affordable price. We know that is an Oxymoron.

The Ford GT was a complete joke. $150,000 for a literal toy, and Ford ad saying at what speed can nothing catch you. Well let me see the GT is 500 HP now there are several cars and Trucks at 500 HP and if we go much further all the way up to 1000HP with the Buggatti Veyron. But the point is the GT was topped very quickly not only on HP and performance but cost.
I mean you have Ford coming in behind a few years later and making the GT 500 at 500 HP at a 1/3 of the price.
I’d be furious if I paid $150,000 for the GT and that happened, but you know. the people with that kind of money don’t care.

But Jamaican Dude hear me out. I agree with you. What Ford really needs is a Kick Ass Mustang If they do a performance variant then they need to do that right. And then say fohgetaboutit to GM!

ok they have the GT500KR and Boss coming up. Well this is Ford’s chance to move the Mustang Upscale past the Corvette and even beat the crap out of the Porsche.

Can it be done. I tell you yeah. Will Ford do it. Highly unlikely. Their content with being second banana.

I would say this. Since Dodge announced a 600 HP Viper in 2008 to beat out the Z06 , now Chevrolet has countered the order with a new Z06 Corvetter at 650HP, and Porsche has ordered a new 700HP to Trump them all.

I say to Ford here is your chance to Trump every one of these idiots. Come out with an 850 HP Mustang and beat the crap out of the competition instead of playing second fiddle!

If there isn’t the money at Ford to do it then concentrate on Mainstream vehicles people want to buy. But the Key for Ford is do this program right and quickly and move on to redevelopment of your mainstream vehicles.

ForTauRUTFreak has some serious abandonment issues. You can call me whatever you want as long as I’m not you. If I were you… well I don’t want to bring down the mood but I would not want to be you. I’d rather have no arms and no legs instead of waking up everyday for the rest of my life knowing I were you! You are a pathetic meat-beating daydreamer that will spend the rest of his teen years sitting in front of a computer screen hoping someone will pay you some attention. How about you get off your lazy fat ass and get some fresh air and exercise?? You are way too young to end up going down that lonely path of destruction. Turn off the computer and go outside. You are 13 years old, it’s not too late to make a change.

Go play with your stick shift F150 I have a real life ok.
But just so you know Ford intends to bring out the mother of all Mustangs after the GT500KR and the BOSS its code name is “Pegasus” like the legendary Horse with Wings. This Mustang will be built like no other sports car in the world. It will have the ability to take off and land vertically like a Harrier Jet, Hit Mach 50 after the two miniturized Pratt and Whitney Hypersonic Afterburning turbofans Kick in and blow you and your F150 away like the debris you are when it does a test fly by!
And did I mention that’s just stage one of what code name the Pegasus Mustang will be capable in that stage alone! When things get really heated up is when the two Warp drives that Ford has been working and getting installed in this new Mustang beast get turned on and lit up! I’m mean you might as well say “Beam me up Scotty” cause them Warp drives man I tell ya when they get goin man they’ll scorch your friggin ass something fierce boy when it catches fire. WHen that thing man your friggin hair will be lit on fire you know what I’m sayin man.

Lusting after your parent’s 20 year old Taurus doesn’t count as a life fat ass! Just remember I’m not going anywhere, I can keep this up as long as you can. You started it and I will finish it. Go get some fresh air or this will be you!

Listen Fluffernutter head- your probably twice as big as that woman ok. So you’ve got no room to comment. And no I will finish it. As soon as the Pegasus Mustang Hits Warp factor 9 ; then I’ll be over to see you that is after I’ve explored a few final frontiers of my own!

Hey that’s really original fat ass! I have plenty of room to comment because I am not a fat ass and I’m not 13 years old. Exactly how fat are you? Is it like your stretch marks have stretch marks?? Put the cupcakes down and go for a walk. Trust me FordTutuFreak it’s for your own good. Seriously… NOW!

I’m eating chocolate M&M’s cause I’m like a health nut!
Just Say no to the Pork Rines, cupcakes, banana splits, and Beef Jerky Ford F150 and you may not keel over with a Heartattack um k. U may not be fat on the bones, but me thinks your brainium arties are clogged with cholestrol and fat because you don’t communicate to clearly. You need to air them brain cells out boy!
Give me 150 Pushups. Side straddle hops Get em! Boyeee .do it now!

I’ve told Scotty to Beam down a landing party that will include myself (as me), Checkoff, Bones, and my Vulcan friend Mr Spock to inspect your primitive people on that mudball of a planet. I’ve told Mr. Scott we need to beam aboard the Ford Fusion for a closer inspection. I think I want to take it for a test drive. But there’s one small problem – it runs on fossil fuels so I’ve ask Scotty in engineering to see if he can find a way make it run off of Dilithium Crystal instead just like the Enterprise this way we can reverse engineer some of your primitve products with 25th century technology.

Kirk Out!

You are still an idiot with no life
